GENTIANA. Gentian. This group comprises some 
of the most admirable hardy plants. Most of 
them require much moisture while in growth, 
and on this account they often fail. 1 have 
recently been growing them in moist, shaded 
situations in sandy loam with good results. 
Though moisture is necessary, drainage is also 
needed. They like a deep, loamy soil, with 
stones intermixed. 
Gentiana alba. Rather stout, with flowers in a termi¬ 
nal cluster; dull white, tinged with yellow or 
green. A native of low grounds or mountain 
meadows. N., 20 cts. each; P., 25 cts. each.

from the Pacific coast. N., 12 cts. each; P., 13 
cts. each. 
G. crinita. Fringed Gentian. I have long tried 
to obtain this plant, which so many prize above 
all other wild flowers. It is a biennial, and with 
me doesn’t seem to thrive under cultivation, 
but may be sown and established in a moist, 
sandy or gravelly soil where the surface o(! the 
ground is always moist. The seed I offer is 
last year’s crop and raised here. 20c. per pkt. 
G. ochroleuca. Blue terminal flower. N., 25 cts. 
each; P., 30 cts. each. 
G. Tibetica. Is more attractive for its large, deep 
green foliage than on account of flowers, which 
are not prominent or showy. N., 20 cts. each; 
P., 25 cts. each.

native of moist woods, 12 to 18 inches high,

July. N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; 1\, 19
